  "account": "Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called for the immediate release of five individuals reportedly arrested in Borno State for wearing T-shirts with the slogan \"Tinubu Must Go.\" In a statement, Atiku questioned the legality of detaining someone for expressing a political opinion through clothing in a democratic society. Atiku recalled President Bola Tinubu's previous stance against fuel price policies during his time with President Goodluck Jonathan, contrasting it with the current economic crisis under Tinubu's leadership. He pointed out the hardships faced by Nigerians, such as skyrocketing prices of essential goods and services, and emphasized that citizens using a T-shirt to voice their discontent should not face arrest. Atiku demanded that the authorities provide the detainees' locations, allow them access to their families and legal counsel, and release them if the arrest was based solely on the slogan. He urged the government to respect the right of citizens to express their political grievances and not to strip them of their freedom solely for expressing their opinions.",
